Promod & Nine West

So we went to the mall on the 13th of July 2005, Cristy and me. Cristy is my colleague, my shopper conscience supposedly too. I just had to go to Promod and get this top sorty which I really liked, to check if it was meant for me. I didnt buy it at the time I saw it coz I bought too much already that day, but then I said if I come back and it is still there then it is meant for me. And yes there it was. I am size 10 but the size 8 fits me. So I took it and found out a peach colore pants in size 10 to go with it. So I took it too.

Stuff 1: A pink top something
Cost 1: Aed.119.00
Stuff 2: Peach pants
Cost 2: Aed.69.00

And so we were still at the mall. Wandering. Cristy was looking for sandals or shoes, or just something. We went to Pretty Fit, Charles and Keith, Nine West. And guess what, I saw the peach bag there. So, what does a girl had to do?

Stuff 3: Peach bag
Cost 3: Aed.89.00 (originally Aed.230.00 so they said)

Cristy bought the black funky sandals from Pretty Fit. I almost bought a green and silver and white shoes combination. I was thinking it would match my new green bag. Holy moly me.

Products: Pinky top, peach pants, peach bag
Total Damage: Aed.277.00
Guilt Check: Really guilty, I feel awful but why do I need to go back and get the green/silver/white shoes??

Moral: Never go to the mall anymore.

I guess I just need to find a better paying job. We shall see. God be with me.

Bag from Liz Claiborne

So I finally found the bag I was looking for. Except that it was in green. Cool color but can't really match it with all my clothes.

I got it from Liz Claiborne on Tuesday 12 July 2005 was it (?). The girl said I should come back on the 26th of July because they will go on sale. But my shopoholic cell just wont let it go, so I had to go home with the green cute bag. I might just come back on the 26th coz there were other cute big bags, they serve a lot of purpose.

Product: Bag
Brand: Liz Claiborne
Cost: Aed.115.00
Guilt Check: Sort of

Hi Flow & Next

One of the three socks from Next. Shoes from Geox
11 July 2005

Yesterday I went to the mall to look for a big handbag which would be able to fit my stuff. I have been so used to buying small bags that now I look at them and find them mostly useless. So I was looking at those available from Next. There were two that I liked but they were not on sale and the guy said they will go on saled next month. So I was thinking.. Maybe I should wait a little bit.

WHat prompted me to think of buying a big handbag was my meeting yesterday. I was wearing a pale pink suit and no bag to go with so I ended up carrying a curdoroy purple bag, which was sloppy really. But maybe I got away with it. But I do not want to feel uncomfortable with what I wear or bring when on to an important meeting. So I will be hunting for the perfect bag. I will attach pictures when I find one online.

Yesterday though I wasnt able to leave the mall without taking anything home with me. I would have felt bereft. So I got.....

2 Scarves from Hi-Flow, they were nice. One was for winter its a dark green (weird green) cotton wool, and another one was this lace type with little embroidery of flowers which is what really attracted my attention.

Also, I bought this knicker bucker (kneekir bucker) as what my ex-boyfriend used to call it, its this pants that are not really up to the ankle at least but not abouve the knees either. It was white with a hint of black stripes and some strings on outside and inside legs portions. Yanni, its not that nice but it was cheap.

Cost1: Aed. 19.00
Cost2: Aed.25.00
Cost3: Aed.25.00

I bought socks from Next. Cute. Three in one bag, lots of cute colors.

Cost4: Aed.40.00

Damage of the Day: Aed.109.00
Sensibility: Still Thinking about it
Guilt Check: Hmnnn.. At least I didnt spend that much!
Wallet Check: Will we still last till the end of the month? Its only the 12th of July. Darn! So the guilt is seeping in.

Promod

10 July 2005

I bought a teal and turquoise with flowerettes of purple and pale yellow from Promod Marina Mall for Aed69.00. Not bad considering I wanted to buy it off the rack for Aed.199.00 before the sale period. Patience really has rewards.

Had Starbucks Frappuccino, but it was a treat so, good.

Had lunch at Pizza Hut and paid around Aed.40.00. They have the Mexican Treat or Mexican Summer something. It was a good change of food from their regular Caesar Salad that I usually eat.
